Cooliris releases PicLens 1.7

19 Jun, 2008 

PicLens
I have already highlighted in the past this project. Now I’m delighted to report that version 1.7 is out, and… it’s a great one!!!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of PicLens Version 1.7 with three exciting additions:

  • Shop Amazon– The 3D Wall transformed image search. Now PicLens launches online shopping into the 21st century. Browse and buy seamlessly just like window shopping!
  • Discover– MSNBC, ESPN, movie trailers…Get the latest news, photos, and video feeds.
  • Return to PicLens– An essential for playing with pictures: toggle in and out of your desktop, the browser, and PicLens!

Find out more at http://blog.cooliris.com and download your own free latest release at http://www.piclens.com.

My favourite feature? Discover!
As soon as I installed the addon in Firefox (very notable: it’s already compatible with the brand new version 3 of my favourite browser), I spent something like 40 minutes just browsing the “movies/tv” section, full of very updated and interesting content… and presented in the most “sexy” way I have ever seen.

Again, a great piece of Software. Strongly recommended to give it a go!

PS Just to avoid to forget, Piclens works practically ANY browser ;) .

    @Nemo: Seriously?
    I didn’t notice that: I switched back to Firefox 3 3/4 months ago and I assumed that the information on the website about compatibility refers to Safari 3.1 too.

    Very strange.

    PS I added a “new” in the middle of “brand version” ;)

    Hi Nemo and Detro,

    We’re not compatible with Safari 3.1 yet. At the moment, we first plan to add a load of new features to the Firefox version in the coming months, including options to save and share images, among others. Once the code for that is all set and stabilized, we’ll be working on adding more to the Safari version. Thanks for asking and we’ll keep you updated!

    Best,
    Luna and The Cooliris Team

    Dear Luna, thanks for the reply. I hope the work go ahead fast, because on Mac there is a big slice of users that prefer Safari over the other browsers.

    Finally, is there available a public roadmap?

    Hi Ivan,

    Sorry for my not-so-prompt response. Currently we do not have a public roadmap. However, we do try to keep everyone updated as much as we can.

    Hope you and your readers and continuing to enjoy PicLens!

    Hi Luna.
    Don’t worry, this is just a blog. Nothing were information is supposed to be regular and up-to-data (for that there are newspaper ;) ).

    Yes, I’m enjoying it.

    Hi Ivan, Nemo, and Detro,

    I just wanted to update you all that Cooliris is proud to announce that our newest version of Cooliris 1.8 (formerly called PicLens) is now fully compatible with Safari 3.1!

    Just like Firefox and IE users, Safari users can now share the cool content they’re finding in Cooliris with friends. We’ve also added new international content to Cooliris Discover. And for interested webmasters, you can now enable your site for Cooliris in under 10 minutes using our new Quick and Simple feature at Cooliris for Developers (http://developer.cooliris.com).

    To check out a demo of Cooliris 1.8 and explore our new features, please visit http://cooliris.com/demo.

    Hope you all enjoy using Cooliris on Safari now!

    Best,
